Life

Born in Tainan in 1923, his family moved to Chaozhou, Pingtung in 1928. In 1938, he went to Japan to study painting at the Kawabata School of Painting [ja], and in 1940 he entered the Painting Department of the Tokyo School of Fine Arts. During his studies in Japan, he was exposed to avant-garde art such as Cubism, Dadaism, and Surrealism, as well as modernist ideas such as Bauhaus style.

After his return to Taiwan in 1946, he joined Ho Tieh-hua’s “New Art Movement of Free China” and became one of the few Taiwanese artists actively promoting avant-garde and modernist painting in the 1950s.

Chuang Shih-ho passed away on November 18, 2020[4][5].
